He has 'The Earthlings' band with him, though Josh had to skip the show last minute due to Covid issues. I guess they found out he would be down at about 7:15pm which lead to them learning 'Free World' and 'Lukin' really quickly and some setlist shuffling.

All of the PJ songs, Timeless Melody, Invincible, Rose of Jericho, and Society were all hi-lites. Andrew Watt is a great guitarist, tons of energy. Having Glen Hansard open was pretty neat. He definitely has that Irish scraggly voice thing going on. Chad Smith was really fun to watch, guy is a locamotive behind the kit. He must have tossed 25 stick to the crowd. They would be playing and all of a sudden a stick would go flying out a few rows. Eddie's voice was in really good shape. Despite the issues, the band seemed relaxed and had a lot of fun.
Was great to get out with a buddy for a spur of the moment thing. Burgers before at White Palace Grill was also nice. That's how you know you're getting old. A show in the city is with White Palace pregame instead of post.
Great night!
